How to Connect Your Ecovacs Deebot Robot Vacuum to Google Home
Link your robot’s account, confirm the connection and check which cleaning controls are available.
Connecting your Ecovacs Deebot to Google Home lets you start cleaning, pause a task or send the robot back to its charger by voice. Depending on your model and integration, you may also be able to request a particular room or check whether the robot is charging.
First, complete setup in ECOVACS HOME and confirm that the Deebot responds there.
What Do You Need Before Starting?
Have these items ready:
- A compatible Deebot that is online in ECOVACS HOME.
- The sign-in information for the Ecovacs account that owns the robot.
- The Google Home app, signed in to the Google account you use for your home.
- A compatible Google or Nest smart speaker or display for voice commands.
Install available updates for both apps and the robot’s firmware. Then start and pause a cleanup in ECOVACS HOME.
Check compatibility for your model and country. Ecovacs notes in its ECOVACS HOME app description that smart-home commands are available only in some countries and regions.
Which Service Should You Choose?
Search for ECOVACS in Google Home and select the official service for your Deebot. Sign in with the account where the robot is registered.
Ecovacs documents that account-linking route in its U.S. Google Home setup instructions.
Use your model’s compatibility information rather than treating an older supported-model list as a complete guide to the lineup.
How Do You Connect Your Deebot to Google Home?
- Open the Google Home app and tap Add.
- Select Link app or service, then Works with Google. Older layouts may show Set up device instead.
- Search for ECOVACS and select the official service.
- Sign in with the Ecovacs account that owns the Deebot.
- Approve account linking and select your robot if prompted.
- Choose the intended home and assign the vacuum to a room.
- Open Home, then All devices, and look for your Deebot.
Some app versions offer Add, Device, then Add a different way. Search for Ecovacs and follow the linking prompts. Google explains these options in its instructions for connecting third-party smart-home devices.

Which Google Home Commands Can You Use?
Say “Hey Google,” followed by an instruction below. You can also use “OK Google” as the wake phrase.
Cleaning Controls
| What You Want to Do | Say After “Hey Google” |
|---|---|
| Start cleaning | “Start vacuuming.” |
| Stop cleaning | “Stop vacuuming.” |
| Pause cleaning | “Pause vacuuming.” |
| Resume cleaning | “Resume vacuuming.” |
| Return to the charging dock | “Tell my vacuum to go home.” |
Ecovacs also documents “start cleaning,” “stop cleaning,” “pause cleaning” and “resume cleaning” as alternatives to the vacuuming phrases.
Status and Location Requests
| What You Want to Check | Say After “Hey Google” |
|---|---|
| Whether the robot is charging | “Is my vacuum charging?” |
| Whether it is docked | “Is my vacuum docked?” |
| Where the robot is | “Where is my vacuum?” |
Room Cleaning
For supported models with mapped rooms, try:
“Hey Google, clean the kitchen.”
Replace “kitchen” with the room’s name in ECOVACS HOME. Confirm that the robot heads to the intended room rather than starting a whole-home cleanup.
Ecovacs publishes these cleaning, docking, status, location and room-cleaning examples in its U.S. guide to controlling a robot vacuum through Google Home. Treat them as commands to test with your model, rather than a guarantee that every Deebot supports every request.
What If You Have More Than One Robot?
Give each vacuum a distinct name in Google Home and include that name when making a request. For example, if yours is named Deebot, try “Hey Google, start the Deebot.”
Ecovacs provides named-device examples in its Google Assistant instructions for the OZMO 930. Exact wording and support may differ for other models.
How Can You Tell Whether Linking Worked?
Start with a basic cleaning command. Watch the robot or check its status in ECOVACS HOME, then test pausing and returning to the charger.
You can also open the Deebot’s device entry in Google Home and try any available controls. Confirm that the robot performs the action; a spoken acknowledgment alone is not enough.
Test each command before adding it to an automation.

Does Assigning a Google Home Room Enable Room Cleaning?
No. Assigning the vacuum to “Kitchen” in Google Home organizes the device. It does not define a cleaning boundary.
Create and name mapped rooms in ECOVACS HOME. Targeted voice cleaning then depends on what your model’s Google Home integration supports.
For precise cleaning areas, furniture-specific requests, suction settings or dock maintenance, check your model’s instructions individually. YIKO, the built-in assistant on compatible Deebots, has its own command system. A request working through YIKO does not establish Google Home support.
What If Google Home Cannot Find or Control the Deebot?
Try ECOVACS HOME first. If the robot does not respond there, restore its connection before troubleshooting Google Home.
If it works in ECOVACS HOME:
- Confirm that you linked the correct Ecovacs account and selected the appropriate account region when prompted.
- Check that Google Home is showing the intended Google account and home.
- Say, “Hey Google, sync my devices,” then check the device list again.
- If needed, open Google Home’s settings, find Works with Google, select Ecovacs and choose Reconnect account.
Google includes syncing and reconnecting in its troubleshooting instructions for linked smart-home devices.
Contact Ecovacs support if the service is unavailable or the same linking error returns. Provide your model name, the command you tried and Google’s exact response. Use a factory reset only when Ecovacs’ troubleshooting instructions call for it.
